Make sure you haven't got a `props.style` overriding the style class.

1. What color do you want when not in hover? 2. What color have you specified for `color` in Base Style? 3. You have specified `#ffffff` for hover text color. Is that what you want? Tip: Resize the windows to remove blank areas and crop the photos. 80% is not useful information. ---

~~I don't think styles are inheritable. You would need to do the text by element.~~ EDIT: Scratch that. Seems to work in 8.1.25...

Are there any non-default style values on the labels? That would override the style on the container.

You need to apply the style class to the labels. If you want all labels to change font color when the root container has hover then that is a different problem. * * * Tip: Note how to arrange the windows and crop the view so that it is readable in the post. ---

My first post had the hover style on the container only. My second one had an overwitten value for the font color. ---

- Create the style class: - Set Base Sytle Text color to whatever you want. - Set Element State [hover] color to whatever you want. - Apply the class to the view root. - **Make sure that all labels in the view have no other `style.color` settings and no classes set that affect label color.** ---
